Unscrew the flint spring from the bottom of the inside unit using a small screwdriver or a thin coin (watch the spring so it doesn't fly away). Turning the inside unit right side up again, remove the remaining piece of flint (if any) by gently tapping the inside unit on a hard surface. Place new Zippo flint in the long flint tube from which you removed the spring (the spring has a brass tip on the end which many people believe is a flint - it is not). Replace the flint spring and screw it in.

On recent models there will be a pinched hole in the felt. If so, simply insert the fluid can into the hole and squirt the fluid right into the packing material in the fuel chamber. Three or four generous squirts will be enough usually. If you don't have the refill hole, lift the corner of the felt pad on the bottom of the insert to reveal the packing material in the fuel chamber. Saturate the packing with Zippo lighter fluid. Fill slowly, taking care to never overfill. See similar questions...

Non-Flint" is a term used for glass produced after the "Lead" period or after the U.S. Civil War. When the Civil war began, glass makers were told they could not use lead, as it was to be reserved for bullets during the war. They soon discovered a means to continue to produce glass without lead, by simply not adding it. All "Pressed Glass" from this point on was produced "Unleaded" or "Non-Flint", as it was cheaper to produce. See similar questions...
